Aehr Test Systems Inc.
(NASDAQ:AEHR) stock jumped about 11% on Wednesday after the company announced a follow-on production order tied to growing demand for silicon photonics used in hyperscale AI data centers.
AI Data Center Demand Drives Follow-On Order Aehr Test Systems said Wednesday it received a follow-on production order from a major silicon photonics customer for its fully automated FOX-XP wafer-level burn-in (WLBI) system, which is scheduled for delivery within six months.
The customer, a global supplier of networking products and optical transceivers, is expanding production of silicon photonics-based transceivers to meet growing demand from hyperscale AI and cloud data centers.
Aehr said the customer has also provided a forecast for additional systems later this year as capacity ramps.
